Houston, You Have a Problem

The people of Houston keep sending Sheila Jackson Lee to Congress, and to say she's not one of the brightest bulbs in the Congressional chandelier is to be very generous. The Daily Caller has a profile of the space cadet congresswoman from The Space City:

Sheila Jackson Lee will eat your soul -- Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston, Texas, regularly refers to the people who work for her as "stupid motherf*ckers," according to an expose by The Daily Caller's Jonathan Strong. Believe it or not, Lee's staffers wish that were the worst of the congresswoman's abuses. Lee caused one of her drivers to wreck her car by screaming into her ear, and threatened to call the police and report a kidnapping when a different driver told the congresswoman to either stop yelling, or walk. Another staffer had a phone thrown at him. Yet another was insulted by Lee in front of the staffer's parents. A third was forced to write a memo in full view of her colleagues explaining why she was, in Lee's view, incompetent. Perhaps even more impressive is Lee's ability to fling crap upwards just as competently as she drops it on her underlings. She once kept Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood waiting for several hours in her office foyer for while she likely watched TV. Another time, she threatened a secret service agent, but only after she instructed her driver to ignore the secret service vehicle that was attempting to pull them over. And while she may be an apparent insomniac who sucks the life out of her staff, it's not likely that she's a vampire, as Lee often asks staffers to bring her garlic supplements as late as 2 a.m. 

Jackson Lee has been known for more than one dumb statement:

In 2010, Jackson Lee stated that, "...victory had been achieved" by the United States in Vietnam. She went on to state, "Today, we have two Vietnams; side-by-side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side. Because that was a civil war, and because the leadership of this nation did not listen to the mothers and fathers who beared...bore the burden of 58,000 dead and did not declare victory; the mounting deaths; the violence continued going up and up, rather than understanding the political nature of the war in Vietnam, we did not listen to those families."[13][14][15] In fact, the territories of North and South Vietnam were united under communist rule after the withdrawal of the United States in the 1970s.

In 1997, during a subcommittee briefing, Jackson Lee asked a NASA scientist if the Mars Pathfinder had photographed the flag that Neil Armstrong had left on the moon.[18]

She was also videotaped during a town hall meeting in 2010 taking a call on her cellphone right in the middle of a constituent's statement and completely ignoring the voters of her district while she chatted on her phone.

Houston, you've got a problem and need to get her out of there.  Unfortunately, she's in one of those districts that have been gerrymandered to ensure a black congressman, but surely there's someone better able to understand and carry out the duties of a congressman than her.  You can read the entire Daily Caller piece at this link.
